In Time With You (A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 1: Meet Rebecca Saunders

REBECCA'S PERSPECTIVE:

"Beep-beep-beep-beep-be-" I turned my alarm clock off before it started to make its fifth beeping sound. I used all of my strength to get up from my comfy bed. I yawned and made my way towards the bathroom.

I'm going to introduce myself first. My name is Rebecca Natalie Saunders. 17 years old and a law student at the Harvard University in Los Angeles. I have a bestfriend named Gabrielle Hampton. We've been bestfriends since our diaper days.

I have a long brown hair that reaches just above my bum. I'm 5'8 tall and i have an obsession with chocolates. I'm 1/2 American, 1/4 British and 1/8 Filipino. Yeah, i have a different type of blood.

I live here in a huge village where only rich people can live. Before you ask, I'm not living in the University like what real college students do. I hated dormitories! Because there was no freedom. Me and Gabbie were studying in the same college. Both of us tried having a dorm. But after a month, we begged my Grandaddy to talk to the dean of the school to let us live outside the University. And luckily, they approved.

I'm a heiress of the 'Saunders Company'. My parents went through a divorce and left me with my Grandfather.

I barely talked to them because they've hurt me. I have no difficulties in life. I always get what i want. But I know how to discipline myself.

My Grandfather owns the one of the biggest companies here in America. And he always spoils me. I love my Grandaddy so much. He and Gabrielle were the only ones i have.

Me and Gabrielle were obsessed with the Irish-British boy band 'One Direction'. But i always have that soft spot for that curly haired member. Harry Styles.

I've been a fan since their X factor days. And i love them to bits.

I love singing and even writing songs. I already wrote a lot. But being a singer wasn't really my cup of tea. Sure, I want to inspire the world by my music but I am not into being a superstar. I can also dance, play some music instruments like piano, guitar, violin and harp.

I am a certified brainiac. I'm a straight A student. I always bring some honor for my school because I've been through a lot of competitions like debate.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at debating and that's the reason why i picked law as my course. I never lose. I always win. That's probably the reason why the university board was impressed by me.

I'm not that friendly type. I'm contented with what i have. Even if I'm a heiress, I don't really like using my fortune. I'm just a simple girl.

My love life? Let's just say that i haven't been in a relationship since birth. A lot of guys have asked me out. But I don't know what good they have seen in me. But i rejected them all. Because my heart is only set for Harry. I'm a certified brainiac, plain boring and quiet. I never liked partying, unlike Gabbie. I always stay at home and read some books.

Gabbie and I were exact opposite. She's a blonde one while I'm a brunette one. We're opposite in every ways. But somehow, we still managed to get along.

Gabbie's parents died in a car crash when she was 8. She has nowhere to go to because she doesn't know if she have any relatives. That's why I begged my Grandfather to adopt her. And with no hesitation, he agreed. Because you know, I always get what I want.

It is now the first day of summer. And Grandaddy is coming home from Canada. Grandaddy is a really hardworking man. That's why many people likes him. He was really kind to people. He always helps them whenever they need help. Like last month, he's in Africa to build a school for those children who can't afford to study. And a lot more. That's how good he is.

Moving back to reality, I took a quick shower. I shampooed my hair twice using my strawberry-scented shampoo. When I'm done, i wrapped a towel around my body and hopped out of the shower. Today, I decided on wearing an oversized shirt and a yoga pants. See? I'm too simple. After I brushed my teeth, i put on some powder and a cherry-flavored lipbalm. That's it. I'm done.

I grabbed my iPhone and made my way downstairs. A scent of homemade pancakes lingered on my nostrils. I quickly made my way towards the kitchen to find Nancy, our maid, cooking pancakes. She flipped the pancake and turned around. She gave me a warm smile and I did the same. "Good Morning Ms. Rebecca" she greeted and i shook my head. "How many times do i have to tell you, don't call me that. Just call me Rebecca." I giggled at her. She's a new maid here. Her cheeks redden from embarrassment. "Okay. Good Morning Ms.-I mean, Rebecca" she greeted again. "Good Morning to you too. Can you please give me some of those? And some croissant too." I said politely. She just nodded and placed 3 pancakes on the plate and a single croissant. She now knows what to do.

She placed the plate in front of me so I started eating. "Nancy, eat with me." I mumbled. She looks surprised. "Seat here next to me." i requested at her with a warm smile on my face. "It's fine Rebecca. I can eat la-"

"I want you to eat with me." i cut her off and motioned her to sit next to me. She hesitated at first and then finally gave in. She also ate the same thing as mine. We talked about her life, she was only 16. She said that she needed some money for her ill father. She nearly cried but still managed to stop those tears from spilling out.

I felt sorry for her. Suddenly, a loud squeal interrupted us. Gabbie. What is she yelling about? And then, she came out and started jumping in front of me. "Re-Rebecca! Haroline is back!" she stated and my mind went completely blank. Harry? And Caroline? Back together?

It felt like someone just stabbed me in the chest. I liked Harry ever since I became a Directioner. I liked as a person, not because he is famous or anything. What has gotten into his mind? Why is he dating someone who is 15 years older than him? I wanted to cry. I wanted to be mad. But I can't. I'm just another girl who is falling at his feet. Besides, I never met him. But why do I feel so jealous? But somehow, I can't hate Caroline. I don't know her personally. My Grandaddy taught me to never judge someone unless you have walked the path that he or she have been through. And I always kept that on my mind.

Why? Why?.....

*****************

I've been really quiet since Gabbie told me that news. I'be read a lot of article about that. And it seemed true. Because there were pictures of the both of them.

Ugh. I don't want to talk about it anymore.

I kept my eyes glued on the TV. But I'm not really paying attention to it. I'm just lost in my own thoughts. I'm on my own room. Just waiting for someone to call me and tell me that my Grandaddy has arrived. I missed him so much. I haven't seen him for like 2 months because he was in Canada to associate with someone for the company.

I just opened my phone and went to Twitter. For all my life, I've been waiting for One Direction to follow me back. But I guess it will never happen.

@Rebecca_Saunders: Still waiting for a 1/5. Ugh. I guess I'll never get noticed. *sigh :(

I hit 'tweet' and it was published. I have 1,986 followers on Twitter. I'm really hopeless. They will never notice me.

Or so i thought........
